This dragon greatly resembles Boreal Serpents I've encountered. There are a few differences, but they're otherwise quite similar- particularly in shape and elemental affinity.

Seeing as a number of us seem keen on returning it to the ocean as originally promised, I think we can agree it's in everyone's interest to calm it first before any further damage is done.

[A breath, then barreling through the rest with the grit of someone fully expecting an argument]

..So, I'm going to try and put it to sleep. I don't fully expect this to work, and I don't expect it to work swiftly, but all we need to do is calm its mind enough to work with. It's otherwise proven itself to be an intelligent creature.

But this will take time to manage. In the meantime, it has the body of a serpent: strong, scaled, and greatly flexible. Straying close isn't wise or likely terribly effective with ordinary weapons. Held at range and distracted would be ideal.

..As such however, this only has a chance to work with assistance.

You're going to–

[ She doesn't have time to be worried, but oh how she'd like to be. ]

Right then, I'll do what I can, if I can make it smaller it'll certainly make it less dangerous and easier to get out of here. There's another witch like me here, she might be willing to help.

Be careful.

[The answer to his prayers in seeming more than one way bc his plan had only extended so far]

Goddess, if you can manage that, that would be wonderful.

[lancifolium]

If there are two of us working at it, hopefully, it goes quickly.

[bearshermark]

I pray.

I'll do my best. You try to be careful as well.

[lancifolium]

[ An extremely Marge Simpson-esque groan and- ]

I'll try. When it goes down I'll come find you.

[bearshermark]

I'll look forward to it.

[is this: subtlety]

[lancifolium]

Me too. Don't get hurt, I'll be very annoyed with you if you don't take care of yourself.

[ This is absolutely the height of subtlety. ]

[bearshermark]

[Warm words, buoyed by a smile]

I can heal. I should be all right.

[lancifolium]

Better be. See you soon and in one piece.

[bearshermark]

Yes.

[Actually. Manages to stay his tongue on saying anything further like a goddamn champion. Though given the shortness of the word and the next breath he'd taken like he meant to continue, that restraint might be obvious too]
